CX7000 | Compact PLC (mini PLC)

Compact controller with integrated multi-function I/Os

The CX7000 Embedded PC series opens up the TwinCAT 3 software environment to compact controllers. Equipped with an Arm® Cortex® processor (32 bit), the CX7000 series makes higher processing power available in the compact PLC segment. Furthermore, all the advantages of the TwinCAT 3 software generation can be utilized with the small EtherCAT masters. The extremely compact design ensures optimum scalability of PC-based control for small PLC applications that typically require minimum footprint. The following processors are available:

  • CX70xx: Arm® Cortex®-M7 processor, 480 MHz, 1 core
  • CX72xx: Arm® Cortex®-A9 processor, 720 MHz, 1 core

The CX7000 series offers directly integrated multi-functional I/O channels:

  • 8 digital inputs, 24 V DC, filter 3 ms, type 3
  • 4 digital outputs, 24 V DC, 0.5 A, 1-wire technology

These integrated multi-functional I/Os can be configured for other operating modes via TwinCAT 3, enabling the option to use fast counting or processing of analog values:

  • counter mode: 1 x 100 kHz digital counter input, 1 x digital input as up/down counter, 2 x digital counter outputs
  • incremental encoder mode: 2 x digital inputs for 250 kHz encoder signal, 2 x digital encoder outputs
  • analog signal mode: 2 x digital inputs configured as analog inputs 0 to 10 V, 12 bit
  • PWM signal mode: 2 x digital outputs configured for PWM signal

If additional electrical signal types need to be processed, the CX7000 series can be expanded very easily on demand by adding EtherCAT Terminals or Bus Terminals to the integrated I/Os.

The Embedded PC is equipped with 512 MB microSD flash memory (with the option to upgrade to 16 GB). An Ethernet interface serves as the programming interface. This means that the space-saving CX7000 series is ideal for use as a cost-effective, stand-alone compact controller. The extended operating temperature range between -25 and +60°C enables application in climatically demanding situations.
